Spider’s Web
Most Spiders eat insect and some trap
their food in Webs. How a spider makes
its web to get food is fascinating. First, a spider has to find the right
location. This could be in a bush, a tree, or on a fence. The space has to be
wide enough and the supports have to be strong
enough to hold the web. Most importantly, the web has to be near to the
source of food. Once the location is right, the spider sets out to spin the
web. This web is used to trap insects.
The skils is produced first in liquid
form and then the air will help to solidify it and the strands form one very
strong thread. The wind also helps to blow the tthreads to the opposite side
and the spider will then fasten it safely to the support.
The spiders spin its web according to
a design. A different silk is produced for each part of the web. The parts
which will trap the insects are sticky. When the threads are in place, the
spider moves to the center of the web and weaves a silky mattress for it to
rest on. Soon enaough, an unsuspecting insect will come flying into the web and
get itself trapped in the sticky web.
As it struggles, the movements of the
insect will wake the spider and it will quickly move towards it. When the
spider reaches the insect, it spins more webs around it until it is trapped
completely. Then, the spider kills its prisoner with a sting and gets to enjoy
its meal.
To survice, spiders trap their prey
on their fascinating webs. No insects will be able to fly away once they have
been trapped on the webs.
